View at your own convenience the recording of the AAOS Total Hip Arthroplasty: Is There a Metal-on-Metal Bearings Controversy? clinical webinar. In light of recent findings regarding the clinical performance of metal-on-metal hip prostheses, Dr. Jacobs and his faculty address and provide a scientific look at the current state of metal-on-metal bearings in total hip arthroplasty. Reach your own conclusions about the clinical indications and rationale for selecting metal-on-metal bearings, the related complications, post-operative evaluation, and the potential systemic effects of metal debris caused by wear. See below for full agenda.

This program is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to:

  • Describe the clinical rationale for the use of metal on metal bearings and the current clinical indications;
  • Apply an algorithm for the postoperative evaluation and management of patients with metal on metal bearings;
  • When clinically indicated use advanced imaging techniques in the post-operative evaluation of patients with metal on metal THA, including metal artifact reduction sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MARS-MRI)
  • Determine the indications for and limitations of the measurement of metal concentrations in blood and urine;
  • List the potential toxicological effects of systemic elevations in metal concentrations
